Answer: 
============================================
Work Shown:
---------------
Explanation:
The idea is to first get all the y terms to one side. I did this by subtracting 2y from both sides in the third step.
Then factor out y and divide both sides by (8x-2)
Afterward there's the optional steps of simplifying (as shown in the final two steps).
This question is nasty. It sounds like you should be finding area of the figure you see. I'll do that first, although I don't think it's the right answer. (But it might be).
Area Trapezoid = (b1 + b2) * h / 2
b1 = 8
b2 = 12
h = 5
Area Trapezoid = (8 + 12 ) * 5 / 2
Area Trapezoid = 20 * 5/2
Area = 50 square feet.
The problem is that no lumber yard will cut that for you without charging you. The practical answer is 12 * 5 = 60 square feet is what you will have to buy. Then you cut out the triangles for yourself.
Answer:
Multiply the a nagative to what is inside the paranthesis on the right side of the nagative sign then combine like variables. This will give you your answer.

1 Simplify 7x+16+47x+16+4 to 7x+207x+20<span> 7x+20=x<span>7x+20=x</span></span>
2 Subtract 7x from both sides<span> 20=x-7x<span>20=x−7x</span></span>
3 Simplify <span>x-7x<span>x−7x</span></span> to <span>-6x<span>−6x</span></span>
<span>20=-6x<span>20=−6x</span></span>
4 Divide both sides by −6 -20/6=x
5 Simplify 20/6 to 10/3 -10/3=x
6 Switch sides
x=-10/3<span><span><span> </span></span></span>
Because it can be written as a fraction 1/3
